The enumeration of rooted maps (embedded graphs), by number of edges, on the torus and projective plane, is studied. Explicit expressions for the generating functions are obtained. From these are derived asymptotic expressions and recurrence relations. Numerical tables for the numbers with up to 20 edges are presented.
